COTE: The Mad Demon

SS Yuki Himeno: First Meeting

Okuma POV

While walking down the street, one man was wearing a stoic face. But despite his expression, he was feeling excited in the inside.

"I can't wait to go home right now".

Yep, and that guy is me. If you're curious on why I feel excited, it's because I bought a box of donuts.

But, they're not just simple donuts, they are special donuts. The box consist of a chocolate donut topped with peanuts, Bavarian chocolate, strawberry donut with sprinkles, and etc.

But did you know that donuts are introduced by the Dutch in New Neverlands to Americans as oliekoecken which is translated as oil caked or fried cakes?

However, its origins still goes back to centuries where the cooks of Rome and Greece fries strips of pastry dough and coat them with honey, or fish sauce, which is definitely unimaginable.

And in Medieval times, Arab cooks started frying up small portions of unsweetened yeast dough, drenching the plain fried blobs in sugary syrup to sweeten them.

Well, that's that. If you want full details, go search on the internet.

Oh yeah, today is the first week after the entrance ceremony. And so far, many first-year students are still oblivious to the hidden system of the school, which is why most of them are now spending points as if they are in a ideal school haven life.

When I decided to have a taste of my doughnuts, I found a nearby store that has tables and chairs on the outside.

As I sat on a chair, a waitress approached me to lend me a list of their menu. The store is called Spacebucks where their main selling point are coffees, as listed on their menu. They also serve snacks and such, but that are just a minority.

Anyway, I decided to order a plain coffee while sitting in this table. It would be rude for me if I just sit here while having the gall to not order anything from them.

When my ordered coffee has arrived, I took a sip on it and tasted it. The coffee is just that, coffee, not too tasty and not too bitter.

I also paired it with the doughnut I bought, and it tastes amazing. As the sugar melts in my mouth, it fully enveloped my tongue, spreading the sweetness from the consumed doughnut. Then, adding the bitter taste of coffee to somehow neutralize the sweetness, the combinations are more perfect than ever.

While sipping my coffee, I found a girl that has an Emo vibe on it. Though, I don't really know what she's reading since I can't see it. I also saw her blushing on the book she's reading while wearing a stoic face.

I then transferred my attention towards the bookshelf that is close to her.

"Pfffff".

And what I found is surprising! Because it's-… it's!

It's a manga where guys are hugging each other in the cover book! And they are not just hugging! They also looked at me! Intimately! As if they are staring deep into my soul!

In short, it's a Yaoi book! Yaoi!

I need to get out of here before it's too-!

Oh, nevermind, I think I was caught red-handed by the Emo girl.

Yuki POV

Here in Spacebucks, they also offers multiple varieties of books and magazines to the customers for free. Although, you must not bring it with you outside and you also need to order food from their menu, it's fair because it's business.
